Pro tip: switching from paper timesheets to a tablet app cut our Friday payroll mess in half
I run a small framing crew of 7 guys, and for years our foreman was filling out paper time cards by hand every night. Half the crew's handwriting was unreadable and every other Friday we'd spend close to an hour on the phone arguing about who worked through lunch or stayed late on a pour. We tested a basic timesheet app on two job site tablets last December, and within a month our payday disputes went from about 4 a week to almost none. The big change was the photo stamp for clock in and out, guys can't fudge a start time when there's a picture of a half finished wall behind them. It costs us $60 a month for the crew and my bookkeeper stopped charging me extra for cleanup. Curious if anyone here has tried tying timesheets straight into job costing, or does that just create a whole new set of headaches?
